U-Pick Grape Prices for Fall 2016

We have a large crop this year and want to pass some of Natures Bounty on to our customers.

Over 20% discounts with large volumes on last year's prices.

Our grape prices are designed for winemakers. Just a few more bushels at every level can increase your discount. Friends can join together to get a better rate. Every visit to the vineyard this year will decrease your cost.

New Section!

Ripens mid September -- A new hardy red wine variety from Minnessota- very popular with winemakers, has a slight "cherry" overtone.

Usage Notes -- Frontenac makes a big, red wine whose aroma and flavor are dominated by cheery notes, with lesser hints of blackcurrant and general red fruit.Other flavors noticed are notes of grass, green bean, evergreen, tar, and even chocolate.

The main consideration in making Frontenac wine is the high initial acidity, which should be lowered in making most wine styles. This is usually done by: adding water to dilute, malolactic fermentation, adding potassium bicarbonate, and chill proofing to remove excess tartaric acid. All 4 practices may sometimes be needed. (some text is from Mitchell Vineyard)

The above Quarts are only available for pickup at our Sales Stand and cannot be purchased on line. However (for our outstate customers) the Gallon Jugs are on Sale On Line for $52 until Mid October when the Vineyard closes for the season.

We also will have Creamed Honey, Comb Honey, Honey Sticks and our Observation Hive!

Please Forward this to all your Friends who are looking for good prices on honey!

Observation Hive ... Did you ever wonder where the honeybees put all that nectar in those wooden boxes (hives) that beekeepers use? Our observation hive has plastic sides, safely keeping the honeybees in, while you watch them storing pollen and nectar. Sometimes you may even see the queen bee laying eggs. Come see nature at work.

What's in the News fromCATCH THE BUZZ (Catch the Buzz are articles of interest in the beekeeping community - I get them from a daily email)

Larry Adams is dedicated to Public Service and Restoring the Community.

One of our customers stopped by last month and made quite an impression.

Larry spent most of his life in the Marine Corps as an electrician - now he is Director of Environmental Stewardship at Walnut Way Conservation Corp -- www.walnutway.org.

Walnut Way Conservation Corp. (Walnut Way) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit neighborhood organization founded by residents in 2000. Its offices are located at 2240 N 17th Street, Wisconsin in a carefully renovated, formally infamous drug house. Understanding the importance of valuing place, residents restored this 1910 house, slated for demolition into an active Center where youth, families, elders, homeowners and renters participate in community development.
